The answer

Reciting the Quran carries immense reward, but recitation is only counted when the tongue is moved with it. The evidence for this is the Almighty’s saying: (Move not your tongue concerning [the Quran] to make haste thereby. Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [then] its recitation. So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation). As for recording a recitation, the listener is rewarded for benefiting from it. Whoever listens to a verse from the Book of Allah will have a multiplied good deed, and whoever recites it will have light on the Day of Resurrection.
