Turn slides into study notes
Drop in a .pptx. Get clean, structured notes — titles, bullets and speaker notes, slide by slide. Copy them or download Markdown or plain text.
Three steps, done
Drop your PPTX
Drag a presentation onto the page or pick one from your files.
Slides become notes
Titles, bullet points and speaker notes are pulled out and laid out slide by slide. Nothing is invented — just what’s in the deck.
Use them anywhere
Copy to the clipboard, download Markdown or plain text — or hand the deck to Noty for a version you can listen to.

Before
Someone else’s slides
Bullets squeezed into boxes, the real explanation hidden in the speaker-notes panel.
After
Clean notes, one block per slide
Title, bullets and speaker notes in Markdown that pastes straight into Notion, Obsidian, Bear or Google Docs.
Revise with your ears
Tell Noty in the Studio chat what you need from the deck — the notes read aloud, a summary to listen to, or the whole deck narrated — and take it with you as an MP3.
What the notes look like
One block per slide: the title as a heading, bullets underneath, speaker notes quoted at the bottom. It plays nicely with every note app.
Speaker notes included
If your professor or trainer wrote a real explanation in the notes panel, that’s often more useful than the bullets. The notes come out as a quoted block under each slide.
Copy to clipboard
Paste into Notion, Obsidian, Bear, Apple Notes or Google Docs — any text-friendly app.
Download as .md
A standard Markdown file. Open it in any editor, version-control it, drop it in your second brain.
Download as .txt
Plain text with zero formatting — for read-aloud apps, screen readers or simple archives.
Slides without notes
You still get the title and bullets. The speaker-notes block just doesn’t appear for that slide.
Extraction only
Nothing is rewritten or summarised here. Want a summary? Ask Noty in the Studio.
Other ways to get notes from slides
Most options take an evening of busywork. None of them let you listen to the result.

Who turns slides into notes?
Mostly: anyone whose homework, training or work lives inside someone else’s PowerPoint deck.
Students cramming for exams: the professor sent the lecture slides. Extract the text once and study from clean notes instead of squinting at thumbnails.
New hires going through onboarding: internal training decks become searchable notes you can reread on day 2, day 30 or year 2.
Knowledge workers building a second brain: drop decks into Notion, Obsidian or Bear with one paste. The Markdown comes out clean.
Anyone who learns by writing: start with the extracted notes, then annotate and rewrite them in your own words.
Speakers prepping their own talks: pull your script out of the speaker-notes panel and review it on the train — or have Noty read it back to you.
Studying by ear
Reading notes works at a desk. Listening works on a commute, a walk or at the gym. In the Notevibes Studio, Noty reads the speaker notes from every slide aloud and hands back one MP3.
If the deck is long, ask for a summary first — Noty writes it from the slides and reads that instead. And if you’re the one presenting, the same deck can come back as a narrated .pptx that plays itself, slide by slide.
Read the deck. Then hear it back.
Noty reads your notes — or a summary of the deck — aloud in a natural voice and hands back the MP3.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn a PowerPoint into notes?
Drop your .pptx into the tool above. It pulls out slide titles, bullet points and speaker notes, then shows them as clean Markdown you can copy or download.
Does it grab speaker notes too?
Yes. Speaker notes appear as a quoted block under each slide, so you keep the full context — not just what was on screen.
What format are the notes in?
Markdown — it opens in Notion, Obsidian, Bear, Apple Notes, GitHub and every text editor. Plain text is also available for tools that don’t handle Markdown.
What if there are no speaker notes?
You still get titles and bullets per slide. The speaker-notes block just doesn’t appear for that slide.
Does it work for .ppt (older format)?
No, only .pptx (PowerPoint 2007 and later). Open older files in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and save as .pptx first.
Is it free? Is my file uploaded?
Yes, free with no account. The notes are extracted in your browser.
Can I have the notes read to me?
Yes. Tell Noty in the Notevibes Studio to read the deck’s notes aloud — or a summary of the deck — and it hands back an MP3. It can also narrate every slide into a .pptx that plays itself. Video export is coming with the next update.
