At present, BabelFish won't do what you are asking.  You said you
wanted an HTML to Text convertor.  At present, BabelFish can only
convert files to HTML but not text.

Gareth has already mentioned his HyperCard IIgs stack to convert HTML
to WordPerfect.

The only other option I know of other than doing it manually or
writing your own conversion program is to use Spectrum to load the
HTML file off of disk and save it as a Teach file which can then be
saved with another program as Text if you really need it in that
format.
