you'll see the tap button on the top at the left, you can assign it to a qwerty key or a midi button so you can just tap along. It wont be perfect but it'll get you close
Usually in FL Studio, I make a clicktrack with the closed hihat. One hard hit one softer... ya know it...
Then I put the accapella in one audio channel and turn the BPM up/down until it fits to the clicktrack.
If it is a natural accapella, sang to a band playing, you will experience more or less, that the vocals go off the riddim, because your riddim has 100% pure digital accuracy ;-) . Cutting and slicing the vocals (accapella) is the only option for this. Then you realign the vocal slices to the clicktrack.
Usually I cut all silent part of an accapella out, keep the parts where something is earable and then align those parts to the riddim.
Hope this helps. If not, I'm here ;-)

There's a thing called FruitySlicer or FL Slicer in FL Studio as a plugin allready. I confess: I never put my hand on this and I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But some folks say that slicer does a good job... at least on drums....
I do it the oldfashioned way: I use an audio editor, I love Goldwave, to do that whole cutting stuff. It gives me the possibility to zoom deep inside the waveform and set the cut on a very precise position. Goldwave is also good, because it has some inplace effects like filters and noisegates, so after you cut a particular part of an accapella, you can remove hissing and humming at the same step.
Generally I say: Get an audio editor, preferable one which can zoom in a lot. Cut out all parts where somebody sings and save them to new files. So after that you have a few files instead of one. Now place those vocal bits on the correct position in your FL Studio project.
Yeah Slicer is not a good tool for this. It is much too rough. Like doing surgery with an axe. Check out Edison if you have a newer version of FL Studio.
