A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, 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 furthermore employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your company details, for instance.
