'Rechtschreibfehler' and 'Tippfehler' are both mistakes in a written word. The difference lies in the cause. A 'Rechtschreibfehler' shows that a word is written incorrectly according to the rules. A 'Tippfehler' happens while typing, for example because you press the wrong key or switch letters around. A 'Tippfehler' can happen even if you know the correct spelling. The words are easy to confuse because the result looks similar: the text contains an incorrect word or an incorrect sequence of letters.
