A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your company details, for example.
