I wouldn't think odt2txt would be installed by default, let alone
started by default. A program using 8.3% wouldn't cause the CPU usage
to be 100%.

In other words, there's a lot you haven't told us that might be
relevant. How did odt2txt come to be on your computer? What other
processes are using the other 91.7% of the CPU?

Maybe it's some malware? Maybe you forgot you started it?
