What program should be used to learn English. words/phrases?

Background: I decided to "pump" the level of English - I watch movies, read books, etc. Accordingly, during the whole process, new words appear that need to be learned. Yes, actually learning is not a problem, the problem is to make sure that they are not forgotten.
For this purpose, I decided to use AnkiDroid on my phone with its spaced repetition method, and in general everything is fine - it suits me, but there is one problem - the lack of a built-in database of words and transcriptions for them in applications.
Because of this, it is very inconvenient to add new words: roughly speaking, I read a book, I see a new word -> I climb into the translator and see what it means -> I add the word to the application -> I look for a transcription to it on the Internet -> again I climb into the program and enter the transcription .
As a result, it turns out that to add each word, you need to make a lot of extra gestures. But I would like to somehow reduce everything to such a scheme: you add a new word to the program -> the program itself finds the transcription and offers to choose a translation.
Actually the question itself: recommend a program for learning / repeating words / phrases based on spaced repetitions (well, or on some other repetition mechanism) with the ability to select words from its own database
Note: we are talking specifically about learning words, learning grammar, etc. P. is not necessary, so options such as lingualeo, duolingo, etc. I don't consider...

Books. Find something interesting and read. Complete books by one author. The author has a limited vocabulary, so the words will be repeated (but this is not accurate - there are a lot of editors).
What I do:
Read a chapter -> write down unfamiliar words -> choose 20 pieces -> learn quickly
repeat

I like the website puzzle-english.com
Movies, videos, music, exercise equipment. Anywhere you can add words to your dictionary. Pump up the exercises. The only thing is, if you want it for free, then the free option has limitations.
As for the android, I won’t say for sure ... I don’t use it, but I seem to have seen it.

I liked the SE Wordbook app. There is a small built-in base with words. The remaining words are added independently, you can add one at a time, or you can upload many words at once as a csv file.
In general, it does not matter what program you use to teach. At least you can write it down on paper. You understand that some word is not remembered, repeat it over and over again until you remember it. And then every other day/week/month/year you check yourself. Also, practice is required. If you don't use a word, it will be forgotten after a while. Any program will only make your life a little easier, and in order to learn what is poorly memorized or constantly forgotten, you still have to do, as you say, "a lot of extra gestures"

Convenient AnkiDroid is called MemoWord)) You can enter
words / phrases directly into the application, use the built-in translator there. Voice acting - voice synthesis - but it completely replaces transcription and allows you to learn pronunciation.
Learning can also be much more interesting than in Anki - there are cards, and from hearing, and you can listen to the background - in general, I recommend)

Probably better than the book. You can also try Anki cards. For example, https://ankiweb.net/about and their Android app

I use drops. I don’t know if it is on Android, but it has taken refuge in the app store.

bxmemo.com - there are large dictionaries that can be downloaded, and for repetitions there is a mechanism to highlight certain groups of words for repetition. The only problem is, you need windows to manage the whole thing, and to use it later on Android, you need a purchased version. As for your case, you need to find and install a large English-Russian dictionary like Muller with transcription, find the word there and immediately enter it into your tutorial.

creating cards in anki is the most effective way to memorize, you can fasten any mnemonic you want, and using other people's cards or applications is no longer so effective
