Parse word docs heroku/s3

I want to implement a functionality that needs to parse word docs, which will uploaded by user and stored on amazon S3. The application will be on heroku. I tried catdoc but it doesn't parse urls. Can anyone suggest tool that can be used on heroku to parse word documents?

UPDATE I want to scan an uploaded ms-word(.doc) has particular words and tag them accordingly.

If you're just wanting to upload the word document you could take a look at something like the paperclip gem.

This would allow you to save the file on amazon S3 and simply download it, but you could also extend paperclip and run post-processing on the file. This is slightly more complicated.

Like willglynn says, it would be good to know what parsing you need to do, exactly?
