I can see that the video quality isn't great. Our intent is to give the Community a better understanding of what this new tool can do and I hope that this tutorial can help.
Glad to hear that you will give it a chance . Your comments are truly helpful to understand what we need to focus on.

You can check your post by clicking on the ABC icon of the editor. After clicking on the icon, a window will appear. In this way the spelling, grammar and style of your text will be checked.
The results will be displayed in a pop-up window where potential spelling, grammar or stylistic problems will be underlined. A green underline brings up suggestions that you can decide to use. In more complex cases, suggestions are not available, and the red underline gives some advice on grammatical or stylistic recommendations. At any time you can decide whether or not make any changes by clicking “Apply”.
Also a help window will appear if you click on the question mark.
The ABC checker helps to increase the quality of the English posts to facilitate automated translations of these posts in other languages in the future. Our hope is to broaden the impact of these posts across other languages: your contributions will reach a wider audience and we will also help those that are non-native English speakers to submit quality English contributions and share information.

Keep the feedback coming!
Hi MeryGi,
The ABC checker could be a useful tool provided it worked properly, but it doesn't.
I’m referring in particular to the grammar check, here is a screenshot of what it suggested when I used ABC to check a post a few days ago:
As you can see,
My sentence was
"I hope you can find there the way to fix…"
ABC checker suggested to replace “find there the way” with either finds there the way or find there the ways.
Both suggestions are incorrect, the first one is terrible, as it would read …can finds ?!
FWIW
Cheers,
Laura
P.S. I checked this message with ABC before posting. It keeps giving the same suggestions:
Thank you for this report. We are going to figure out what the problem is. This is a first version of the checker that will be improved soon, so we really appreciate feedback (positive or negative) and suggestions
, can you confirm this or perhaps something doesn't work correctly with the clip?

but I feel I know better than any grammer checker I have tried.
