A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in this situation 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 additionally used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for example.
