Word Extractor parses binary file content and pulls out printable ASCII or Unicode character sequences, converting unreadable binary data into human-understandable text that investigators can analyze for evidence or artifacts.

CFAU

FAU (File Access User) is a utility associated with file access auditing and monitoring, not with converting binary file content into human-readable form.
