A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, just like your company details, as an example.
