L'emploi de l'adjectif «interactive» pour qualifier la réponse vocale est à éviter. En effet, la notion de «réponse interactive» est syntaxiquement contradictoire, bien qu'elle soit techniquement justifiée. Lorsque le contexte exige que l'on rende l'idée d'interaction, il est possible de parler soit de fonction interactive de réponse vocale soit de système interactif de réponse vocale. 3, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20r%C3%A9ponse%20vocale%20interactif
