Capabilities
- Supported input: .pptx (local file or URL)
flash-extract: no token, Markdown output to stdout (max 10 MB / 20 pages)- For truly plain text: use
extract -f jsonand read text fields from JSON output - Language hint with
--language(default:ch, useenfor English) - Slide range with
--pages(e.g.1-5)
Notes
- MinerU has no
-f textformat; Markdown output is the closest to plain text - For
.ppt(legacy format), useppt-extractinstead - Output goes to stdout by default; use
-o <dir>to save to a file or directory - All progress/status messages go to stderr; document content goes to stdout
