A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used 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 will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, just like your business details, as an example.
