A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of 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 used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your business details, for example.
