Words on screen
Text is language in written form.
Text can also refer to the specific wording of anything that is printed: Alterations to the text of the document were being proposed right up to the last minute.
In the context of computing, text may refer to a particular kind of file in which the information is encoded in ASCII and is readable by nearly any computer without the use of special programs.
The relatively recent verb text is used for the activity of sending SMS between small devices, usually mobile phones: I texted you and you never texted me back.
