Description
When I try to convert a .pptx file into a .md file, it does not extract the text from the images. It just gives an image number. I am using it with llm. I am using model gpt-4o. Is this because of a model or something else, and is there any capability at all?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the .pptx-to-.md conversion with text embedded in images, then inspect the image handling in the PowerPoint conversion path and the LLM usage with gpt-4o. Done means determining whether image text extraction is supported and, if so, extracting the text instead of emitting only an image number; otherwise document the limitation.
