Here is a method that I’ve been using to get all the text from a Slide



public static string GetSlideText(Slide source)
{
StringBuilder keywords = new StringBuilder();

if(source.Notes != null)
{
keywords.Append(source.Notes.Text);
keywords.Append(" “);
}
keywords.Append(source.HeaderFooter.HeaderText);
keywords.Append(” “);
keywords.Append(source.HeaderFooter.FooterText);
keywords.Append(” “);
keywords.Append(source.HeaderFooter.DateTimeText);
keywords.Append(” “);
foreach(Shape sh in source.Shapes)
{
keywords.Append(sh.AlternativeText);
keywords.Append(” “);
if(sh is Table)
{
Table tb = (Table) sh;
for(int tx = 0; tx < tb.ColumnsNumber; tx++)
{
for(int ty = 0; ty < tb.RowsNumber; ty++)
{
keywords.Append(tb.GetCell(tx, ty).TextFrame.Text);
keywords.Append(” “);
}
}
}
else if(sh is AutoShape)
{
AutoShape autoS = (AutoShape) sh;
if(autoS.TextFrame != null && autoS.TextFrame.Text != null)
{
keywords.Append(autoS.TextFrame.Text);
keywords.Append(” “);
}
}
else if(sh is Rectangle && sh.TextFrame != null && sh.Placeholder == null)
{
keywords.Append(sh.TextFrame.Text);
}
if(sh.Placeholder != null)
{
TextHolder th = sh.Placeholder as TextHolder;
if(th != null)
{
keywords.Append(th.Text);
}
}
}
string result = keywords.ToString();

// change everything that is not a letter or number or a white space into a space
result = Regex.Replace(result, @”[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]", " “);
// collapse multiple white spaces
result = Regex.Replace(result, @”\s+", " ");
result = result.Trim();

return result;
}
