Yes, it will dry faster indoors, but it will not dry properly unless you manage the RH. The RH needs to be > 75% from green until the MC gets down to 60% for most woods. No indoor residential space will have a RH that high in the Winter. Take a look at EBAC's or FPL's drying schedules. Some woods like SYP, IIRC, can be dried w/o much regard for control of RH. But every hardwood I know of requires pretty careful management of the RH to end up with lumber that's defect and stress free.
If you want to dry green wood indoors it needs to go in a tent with a fan and dehumidifier, and heater if you want to accelerate the process. In that confined space you can control the RH vs. MC and end up with usable lumber.
