You could try the Live Path Effect (Path>Path Effects>) 'Perspective/Envelope' assuming you have Inkscape version 0.92.3 or later unless there is some special feature of the Extension that you need to use.
On-line Inkscape manual (Help>Inkscape Manual) "Chapter 8 Live Path Effects" has good general info about using LPEs and the Perspective/Envelope LPE is pretty self-explanatory. (the manual is not yet updated from version 0.48.5 to show Perspective/Envelope as an available LPE)
The object to be reshaped (text in your case) must be a single path (use Path>Combine or >Union) and Selected (Selector tool) before you apply Path Effects. Click on the Plus sign (+) under the Path Effects dialog window to open a menu of Path Effects; select Perspective/Envelope.
To 'capture' your modified text (when you get it shaped the way you want) - convert it to a new path (Path>Object to Path).
This is what I´ve guessed - in former version it was just: type text - object to path - draw 4 point shape - select both - go extension->generate from path->Perspective - done. The Groupie-thingy nowadays drives me nuts.

I am trying to apply this tools but always show this message:
I follow this stepes:
1. Write the text.
2. Draw a rectangle with the Bezier tool.
3. Text to Paht.
4. Select Text and rectangle.
5. Go to Extensions - Modify Path - Perspective.
Then, the program shows that message (file uploaded).
I don´t know what it is happening.
Describe your OS & version, the version of Inkscape and the installer you used.
Most likely you have a "group" after the text conversion after Object to Path: ungroup and combine then go ahead with 4.

Lot´s of guess work without knowing the OS and version.
Thanks PixelPest. It helped me. Doing Objetc to Path - Ungroup - Combine.. It was the solution. By the way, I have the last version.1.0

Adding to this. In current version 1.0.1, the extension stopped working because my default template had no layers.
Strange enough that it didn´t work with the "root"-layer. (v1.0.1 (2a5465c, 2020-09-20))
