interactive software
User-driven digital tools
Interactive software is any computer program that responds to user input in real time, as opposed to batch processing that runs without intervention.
Video games, word processors, and web browsers are all interactive software—each action produces an immediate response.
The term distinguishes programs requiring ongoing user engagement from those that simply execute and finish.
