A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any other information as well, such as your company details, for instance.
