Font Zoom Using Headset & Volume Controls When Sounds Are Not Playing.

I hate when I can't read the text on my iPhone and I don't have my glasses.
Sometimes the fonts on an iPhone screen are simply way too small, even with the super-sized iPhone 6 Plus Retina screen. It's frustrating, because I bought the larger model specifically because I had a hard time reading emails on my previous phone, which I got because it was larger than the one before it.
After tinkering a bit with the settings, I managed to find a setting that lets you boost the size of the fonts, but sometimes the text was perfect, and sometimes the fonts were literally on top of each other in a big blob of text. So, I had to lower the default size again. Then most of them were hard to read again. Eventually after going back and forth, I ended up putting it back close to the original setting.
It seems to me that the only solution is for people to have the ability to change the font size on the fly.
Keep in mind, I'm aware you can "Pinch to zoom", but that zooms everything, and most of the time, I just want to zoom the fonts up or down. If only there was a button for that. Hmm... what about the volume buttons?
If you think of it, this isn't that far fetched. Apple already re-purposed those buttons whenever you are using the camera, why not re-purpose them whenever you are reading text? As long as nothing is playing at the time... why not?
