When using the command \Rightarrow is there any way to put text above it? I have tried \overbrace but is there a way to do it without this?

The optional argument is for under:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}

$\xrightarrow[\text{world}]{\text{hello}}$
$\xRightarrow[\text{world}]{\text{hello}}$

\bigskip    
$\xrightarrow[g(x)]{f(x)}$
$\xRightarrow[g(x)]{f(x)}$  
\end{document}

enter image description here

    This produces italicised text, so perhaps one should use a \text{} inside the arguments for "regular" text? – jamesh625 Sep 06 '16 at 07:43

    sure, it depends on what you want: a math expression or text! –  Sep 06 '16 at 08:54

Probably, you will need the amsmath package, and the commands \overset or \xrightarrow.
