ruby_powerpoint is probably a decent place to start:

https://github.com/pythonicrubyist/ruby_powerpoint

Note that it only works with new-style pptx files. 

For the old format, GOOD LUCK. They are poorly-documented and tricky to work with. Tools like Docsplit (http://documentcloud.github.io/docsplit/) might do what you want for these, but they depend on LibreOffice - and correspondingly, can only read PPT files that work in LibreOffice.

One gotcha: none of these will replicate any of the more complex behaviors (animations, transitions). ruby_powerpoint doesn't even give text style info back, just text and images.
