What is the term for a song that has had its music removed? That is, a song that originally had vocals and instruments, but now just has vocals?
(I know that term for the inverse case, i.e. a song where vocals have been removed and just the instruments remain. That one is called "karaoke". I need a term that I can google for software to remove instruments from a song)

Even though a cappella is technically correct, I think the term you're really looking for is vocals.
If you're trying to isolate the vocal track from the instrumental tracks of a song (which I think is what you're doing), the result can be called: an isolated vocal track.
You can use these terms: isolated vocals, isolated vocal tracks, vocal track, vocal only songs, as a search term on most audio/video websites on the web.
