Where can I find Kai's english dub scripts?

I am not an english speaker. But I'm curious to know the proximity to the original japanese script, name pronunciations and probable "improvements" they made.

Is there no website or something that can have transcripts of the episodes? :cry:

Nope...

It's funny how much my little crazy projects seem to be relevant lol I gave up on the series showing up on FunimatiomNow so we could have actual closed captions. So... I ran the dub thrift a caption generator. Honestly need to spend a ton of time on cleanup, BUT it's way easier cleaning up than doing them from scratch. I captioned the Ocean dub Z episodes from scratch and that suckedddd. Came out super clean, though...

Do you have an episode? My intention is just to understand what was done and compare it to the audio. It would not be used as a caption or anything like that.

If you get the Funimation Kai dvds you can always turn on the subtitles while watching the dub

Funimation hasn't done dubtitles on their DVDs since 2006.
