I need a database app that will let me do this specific thing

When I read a printed book for research, one of the ways I record info from it is by taking a picture of the relevant page. I want a database that will let me handle this data in a certain way.

When I'm reading a printed book for research, and I'm on the bus or in another situation where I can't easily take notes, I take a picture of the page with information I want to save.

I want to be able to put this pictures into a database of some kind that will let me link:

The picture
The text captured on the picture
The reference

And of course, linking all the notes from one book together, which I assume almost any database could do easily.

My ideal input screen would have the image, a text box, and a reference box on it. Or a link to whatever software people are using these days to output a bibliography in MLA style, which I also need.

Thanks so much. I get overwhelmed with these kinds of decisions and look forward to being told what to do.

I've been thinking of AirTable for awhile. Is this something I would find straightforward with AirTable? Or is there something else that's better
