A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites 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 additionally used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your business details, for instance.
