Like pypdf is used to convert pdf to text; is there any library that is used in converting .ppt files to .txt? Even some sample programs will be helpful.
Bearing in mind that Powerpoint is intended for graphical presentations the text elements are not necessarily going to be useful. Often Powerpoint text is actually part of a graphic anyway.
If the Powerpoint is just a set of bullet points (shame on the presenter!) you probably don't want the text unless you can
also get the notes. I don't know of any libraries that can do that. But one option is that Open/Libre office can import Powerpoint and apparently has a Python API which you could use to drive an export from there.
