For just chord analysis, there's "Harte notation", which is meant to be unambiguous representation of the notes (https://ismir2005.ismir.net/proceedings/1080.pdf). That obviously doesn't get you all of the additional information necessary for engraving and full representation of the music, but there are research datasets available using it like https://github.com/smashub/choco. I've also used the https://github.com/MarkGotham/When-in-Rome dataset for some analysis work, but again that's not 100% what you're looking for.

You might like the "iReal Pro" app for the replacement and transposition of jazz standards on your tablet. It's pretty great for that use case versus camera scans.
