Don't laugh, but I like to use plain old xterm for that.
When I want to ungarble a typescript I just cat it in
that xterm and then cut&paste from there (and sometimes
it's an ENORMOUS pile of data) into a vim session while
in insert mode.  Very lo-tech but (or maybe "therefore")
it works well.  You may want to launch the xterm with
the proper args to boost its history buffer line count
to something large enough to hold all your data, or else
you'll need to cat it out in pieces.
