Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a visually disabled user I often want to be able to select some text and display it in very large type on the screen.
Describe the solution you'd like
For example, I select a phone number in an email, hit the app launcher hotkey, choose the "Large Text" action and step away from the screen to actually make the phone call.
Existing work
Alfred on OSX has this feature, and due to the way OSX works it integrates anywhere you can select text or a text blob.
For instance, in the Contacts app, you can select a phone number, hit the Alfred hot key, and see it in very large text in the center of the screen.
Here is the description of this feature from the Alfred SiteDescribe alternatives you've considered
Having this accessible from the app launcher hot key seems like a natural fit given that the launcher already has similar features like calculation mode for numbers, but I'm not married to that. Anything that would integrate with as many apps as possible given Linux/Gnome's architectural limitations (e.g. there's no AppleEvents/Open Scripting Architecture in Gnome that I know of).
