+Migrating from legacy binary document formats to ODF can be a pain if documents
+use fonts that only support some non unicode encodings (e.g. armscii or
+viscii). 
+Odfrecode allows to remap these characters sets to the appriopriate unicode
+codepoints after they've been converted to ODF and makes it therefore possible
+to get rid of the legacy fonts used in this documents.
+
+There are two tools available:
+
+* odfrecode is noninteractive and can be used for batch conversion
+* odfrecode-gtk shows a dialog after conversion which allows the user to
+  direclty open the converted Document in OpenOffice (or another ODF capable
+  application). This can e.g. be used in a Nautilus/Konqueror/Dolphin context menu.
+
+The following example recodes foo.odt from armscii8 to unicode:
+
+    odfrecode-gtk --recoder=armscii8 foo.odt
+
+New converters can easily be added. For a simple example have a look at
+odfrecode/recoders/romanian.py.
