We are excited to announce the release of our newest plugin in the slidize family: the PresentationTextExtractor!

Effortless Text Extraction for Developers

Have you ever needed to programmatically access text from PowerPoint files quickly and reliably?

Whether you're handling large-scale data indexing, automated content analysis, accessibility improvements, or document automation, the PresentationTextExtractor has you covered. Built specifically for .NET developers, this plugin seamlessly supports both legacy PowerPoint formats (97-2003) and modern Office Open XML presentations.

How It Works: Simple and Fast

Using the PresentationTextExtractor couldn't be simpler. Here's how you quickly extract raw text without worrying about the text's arrangement:

using Slidize;

SlideText[] rawSlidesText = PresentationTextExtractor.Process("presentation.pptx", TextExtractionMode.Unarranged);
foreach (var slideText in rawSlidesText)
{
     Console.WriteLine(slideText.Text);          // Slide text
     Console.WriteLine(slideText.MasterText);    // Master slide text
     Console.WriteLine(slideText.LayoutText);    // Layout text
     Console.WriteLine(slideText.NotesText);     // Notes text
     Console.WriteLine(slideText.CommentsText);  // Comments text
}

Keep Text Organized and Accurate

Need text exactly as it appears on your slides? The PresentationTextExtractor makes it easy with the arranged extraction mode:

using Slidize;

SlideText[] arrangedSlidesText = PresentationTextExtractor.Process("presentation.pptx", TextExtractionMode.Arranged);
using (var outputFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter("presentation-text.txt", false))
{
    foreach (var slideText in arrangedSlidesText)
    {
        outputFile.WriteLine(slideText.Text);
    }
}

This mode ensures your extracted text precisely matches the original layout, ideal for maintaining the context and structure of your presentations.
