Scaling a text to fill 50% of screen width and 50% of height, no matter whats inside C#

Hi!
As the tittle says, I just want to scale a text.
Here Is code i use:

    void Start () {
        rend = GetComponent
 
   ();
        this.text = GetComponent
  
    ();
        screenh = Screen.height;
        screenw = Screen.width;
        float tsizx = Tools.BoundsToScreenRect (this.rend.bounds).width;
        float tsizy = Tools.BoundsToScreenRect (this.rend.bounds).height;
        float actpx = screenw / tsizx;
        float actpy = screenh / tsizy;
        this.text.transform.localScale = new Vector3 (0.5f/actpx, 0.5f/actpy , 1);
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log ("Tw:" + tsizx);
    }

Also, this is the BoundsToScreenRect method i got somewhere in the internet:

    public static Rect BoundsToScreenRect(Bounds bounds)
    {
        // Get mesh origin and farthest extent (this works best with simple convex meshes)
        Vector3 origin = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(new Vector3(bounds.min.x, bounds.max.y, 0f));
        Vector3 extent = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(new Vector3(bounds.max.x, bounds.min.y, 0f));
        // Create rect in screen space and return - does not account for camera perspective
        return new Rect(origin.x, Screen.height - origin.y, extent.x - origin.x, origin.y - extent.y);
    }

I need the scaling because I am trying to make an app for android and it should look nice on every screen. Sadly the code above scales the text not the way I would like it to scale. Its smaller and looks quite bad. Thanks in advance for any help.
