You're actually asking two questions:
What is a good algorithm to determine what I think is the complexity of a sentence in the english language?
What is a program that applies this algorithm?
The first question is very hard to answer, the second one is quite easy as soon as the first one is answered.
A tool that applies various algorithms is the ...

The short answer - you will be better off finding a human translator.
Here is a long answer. Your task has two parts.
Convert handwritten Russian into a computer text in Russian.
Translate text from Russian to English.
The second step is relatively easy. A half decent translation can be done with Google Translate.
However the first step is difficult to ...

I recommended AnkiDroid (disclaimer: I created it).
It is the Android version of Anki, a famous flashcards program.
You can enter all of the words you want.
Some dictionaries have some level of integration with it, which means that you can get automatic translations to have less writing to do for each flashcard, but frankly I never use it and always write ...

I have been using Artha now for a couple of years, and it is more than just a standard thesaurus.
It is both a dictionary as it provides the meaning(s) of entered queries, and a thesaurus because it provides synonyms, antonyms, derivatives plus a number of other relationships to your query. Even better, it allows you to follow paths through those ...

Oh, ow: no ox?
On a Linux system, it's standard to have a text file containing a list of English words, for the use of applications such as spell checkers. (Some spell checkers have their own list in a format that they can search faster than plain text.) A typical location is /usr/share/dict/words or /usr/share/misc/words or /usr/lib/dict/words or some such....

Hemingway Editor

Good old Google Translate:

I found the Chrome extension Read&Write for Google.

Functionality includes (emphasis mine):

Since you already know some python you could take a look at the Natural Language Toolkit - nltk - it has a large suite of tools and the ability to customise most of them.
Of your requirements:
Input text - of course
Gloss/tag/markup (preferably through a context menu as opposed to actual XML-like tags) text so that I can categorize it by rhetorical/...

I think that what you are looking for is the combination of python and the natural language toolkit, (nltk).

Technologies based on NLP are becoming increasingly widespread. For

JavaScript is such a language.
JavaScript can interpreted. Actually that was the most usual case until a few years ago.
JavaScript can also be compiled and run natively. This is what V8 does for instance.

You can try Wolfram|alpha, which allows querying for word patterns, for example:
ER___T
returns:
Ernest

It's also free!
However the Wolfram|alpha engine does not recognize word patterns that are small, such as O_.

I've used DuoLingo before, but it was a while back and not for very long so take this recommendation with a grain of salt. However, I have heard good things about it more recently from people I trust.
They use "gamification" to make learning addictive and fun, and they say they have science to back up their teaching methods.
It's a general-purpose language-...

The dict.cc app has a premium vocabulary learning feature, works offline, is focused on vocabulary and shows the gender with the words (so no der die das but m f n).
Unfortunately I don't know about the other points because I don't have premium.
