Here's a simple AppleScript that makes it easier to extract presenter notes from a Keynote presentation and save them to a nicely formatted Markdown document.

If you're using Apple Keynote, you may have noticed that there isn't an easy way to extract the presenter notes attached to your slides. Of course, you could do it manually, one slide at a time, but that's pretty tedious - especially for longer presentations with dozens of slides.

The following AppleScript code allows you to automate this action by pulling out all presenter notes from an open presentation and saving them to a Markdown file. This is particularly useful for creating handouts, sharing your talking points with colleagues, or archiving presentation content for future reference.

The Markdown format is ideal for this purpose because it's lightweight, human-readable, and can easily be converted to other formats like HTML, PDF, or Word documents. Plus, it preserves the structure of your notes while keeping them easily editable in any text editor.
