import aspose.slides as slides

# Get all the text from presentation
text = slides.PresentationFactory().get_presentation_text("presentation.pptx", slides.TextExtractionArrangingMode.UNARRANGED)

I tried to run the first code and got this error;

RuntimeError: Proxy error(KeyNotFoundException): The given key '11' was not present in the dictionary.

@MalekBezzina,
I have not managed to reproduce the error you are experiencing. That code works fine on my end. Please share the following data and information:

• presentation file
• OS version where the code was executed
• Python version you used
• Aspose.Slides version you used
