Only speak text messages from specific contacts, or notifications matching a text filter #98

I received an email asking if there is a way to have Voice Notify only speak text messages from a specific contact.

The simplest solution, though imperfect, would be to add a text filter opposite of the Ignore Text option, so it only speaks notifications containing the entered text.

Ideally, to best satisfy the request, VN would have direct access to read SMS messages with metadata and filter by sender, so it doesn't need to rely on the messaging app providing contact information with the notification and to prevent false positives.
