kilip Slide Extractor
Extract all text from a .pptx file and save the result as a .md file in the same folder.
When to Use
Use this skill FIRST whenever you need to read the content of a .pptx file — before writing summaries, categories, tags, or inventory notes.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Identify the input file
The .pptx file is in the telegram_files/ directory.
Example:
telegram_files/Mengenal_Generasi_Z.pptx
Step 2: Run the extractor
Run this exact command (replace the filename):
uv run slide-extractor/extract_pptx.py telegram_files/Mengenal_Generasi_Z.pptx
The script will automatically save the output as a .md file in the same folder with the same name:
telegram_files/Mengenal_Generasi_Z.md ← output saved here
You do NOT need to specify an output path. The script handles it automatically.
Step 3: Read the output file
After the script finishes, read the output .md file:
telegram_files/Mengenal_Generasi_Z.md
Use the content of this file for the next steps (executive brief, categorization, inventory, etc.).
Output Format
The .md file contains text per slide:
---
title: Mengenal_Generasi_Z
filename: Mengenal_Generasi_Z.pptx
slide_count: 32
---
# Slide 1
Judul slide pertama
Subjudul atau teks lainnya
---
# Slide 2
Teks dari slide kedua
---
How OCR Works (Simple Version)
The script tries two methods in order:
- Direct text extraction — reads text shapes directly (fast, works for most slides)
- OCR fallback — if a slide contains images instead of text shapes, it runs OCR automatically
- First tries Tesseract (fast)
- If Tesseract fails, falls back to EasyOCR (slower but more accurate)
You do NOT need to choose or configure anything. It happens automatically.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
uv: command not found |
Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh |
| Script runs but output file is empty | The slide may be fully image-based. OCR will run — wait for it to finish. |
| OCR is very slow | Normal for image-heavy files (20MB+). Can take several minutes. |
tesseract: command not found warning |
Script will auto-fallback to EasyOCR. No action needed. |
Dependencies
Handled automatically by uv. No manual install needed.
