For the easiest no-upload option, try Deck Edit Pro: it says OCR and PowerPoint export run in your browser, with files staying on your device. It can detect text and place it in editable text boxes; its site says it may need an initial model download. (deckeditpro.com)
A couple of caveats:
- It’s not the same as recovering the original slide. The screenshot has flattened the text, shapes, and images together. OCR can make text editable, but some graphics or layout may still be part of the image, and you’ll likely need to review the result.
- For extra privacy, open the tool, then disconnect from the internet before processing—or monitor/block its network access. That’s a way to check the local-processing claim rather than relying only on it.
- For a more hands-on offline approach, Tesseract is an open-source OCR engine you can install and run locally; you’d then rebuild the slides in PowerPoint. (github.com)
If you just insert screenshots into PowerPoint, they’ll remain pictures—not editable slide elements.
