A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which 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 monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in such a case 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 if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your company details, as an example.
