english-typing-booster should probably check the flags of the tty.

For example:

1) write something on the terminal
$ echo hello world

2) disable echo'ing
$ stty -echo

3) write something again
$ echo hello world

4) enable echo'ing
$ stty echo

5) write something again
$ echo hello world

My terminal shows (including input):
[ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world
hello world
[ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ stty -echo
[ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ hello world
[ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ [ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world
hello world
[ndevos at ndevos-laptop ~]$ 

I am not sure if gnome-terminal offers a way to check the flags in a terminal,
but you will probably want to have this functionality for any terminal
emulator.
