  interactive
       
           A term describing a program whose input and
          output are interleaved, like a conversation, allowing the
          user's input to depend on earlier output from the same run.
       
          The interaction with the user is usually conducted through
          either a text-based interface or a graphical user interface.
          Other kinds of interface, e.g. using speech recognition
          and/or speech synthesis, are also possible.
       
          This is in contrast to batch processing where all the input
          is prepared before the program runs and so cannot depend on
          the program's output.
