It has been awhile. . .
It has been awhile since I used Keynote. I remember from my college days that you could put Keynote into a mode, something like 'Reader' for Safari.
I forget what it is actually called, but within this mode, you can just use Arrow keys by themselves to navigate to the previous and next slides, and VoiceOver will just read the Slides as they are displayed.
HTH. 👍🏼
Open it in Keynote
Open your PowerPoint presentation in Keynote.
Press Command-Option-P to start slide show.
Note that for some items, you will need to interact to read them.
Export to PDF
I find PPT much easier to read after export to PDF, either in Preview, or further converting from PDF to text with an app like PDF to Text Converter.
I have given up on modifying or creating PPT or Keynote. I leave stuff like that to the sighties.
