The digitization of electrocardiogram paper records is an essential step to preserve and analyze cardiac data. This digitization process is not flawless as it involves several challenges, such as skew correction, binarization, and signal extraction. Various approaches have been proposed to address these challenges and recent studies have introduced innovative solutions, such as deep learning models and automation processes. Although existing approaches have shown promising results, there is a lack of common databases and metrics where authors could evaluate and compare their methods. Furthermore, the limited accessibility of code or software hinders the comparison process. Overall, while digitization of paper ECG recordings is important in advancing cardiology research, additional efforts are needed to standardize the evaluation process while improving code accessibility. This article provides a systematic review of this process.
