I found you can link your phone to your computer beyond USB transfer. Using Link Phone in Windows and a Link to Windows app, you can connect phone real time such as to use the camera. I have been looking for a faster way than scanner but with better quality (lighting, cropping, etc) than a casual phone pic. I use web app to identify apps and prefer the computer interface. The question which has best workflow. The above allows real time viewing on your computer like a video camera but not sure the quality.

The general problem with phone cameras is their extremely simplistic lens system (basically a glass ball). So you get really bad image distortions, depending on quality and setup. Actual images using your setup would tell.

Adding taking pictures under uv light (sw and lw). I decided to buy a camera and an additional 85mm Macro lens for the job.
