Several users of aeneas interested in producing caption files for videos told me that it does. And considering how DTW works, it is plausible.
Unfortunately, I have not had the time to setting up a suitable corpus and performing a rigorous evaluation to comfortably answering your question with a definitive answer "yes".
Perhaps the best option to see if aeneas works for your use case, consists in trying it out.
If you do not want to install anything on your machine, you can use the aeneas Web app: https://aeneasweb.org --- basically you submit an audio file (or a YouTube URL) and a text file, and get a SRT/TTML/etc. file emailed back.
