- Speaker Notes Extractor reads speaker notes from selected slides and lets you choose which slide information to include with them.
What slide titles and text context change
Slide titles give each note a visible heading in the extracted material. Text context adds the slide text that helps identify what the note refers to. Leave an option out when the notes stand on their own, or include it when a reviewer needs more information about the slide.

Include: slide title
Leave out: text context
Output: notes with slide title, without slide text
That selection adds the slide title and leaves the slide body text out. The export can contain notes alone, notes with titles, notes with text context, or notes with both options included.
Export speaker notes as TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, or DOCX
Choose TXT for plain text, Markdown when the notes will move into a document or repository, CSV for row-based review, JSON for structured records, or DOCX for a Word document. Select the format based on how the notes will be read or processed after export.
