ABOUT PERMISSIONS:
Internet access is needed because the “Share” function from web browsers and any news reading apps I tried, sends us only the URL address ( http://something.. .). They do not send the full text of articles, so @Voice has to download the article from the Internet to be able to read it aloud or save for later reading. Only by using Copy text function in one app, and pasting it in @Voice, or by saving the full text in one app to storage and opening a file in @Voice, you could avoid Internet connection, but this is not very convenient.
Identity/contacts – this permission is used only to log-in to Google Drive file space, if you decide to use “Sync with Google Drive” feature on the Reading List menu.
