A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your company details, for instance.
