Train speech HMM from MFCC with Matlab hmmtrain

I read many articles on this but I just do not understand how I have to proceed.

I'm trying to build a basic Speech recognition system using the MFCC features to the HMM , I'm using the data available here. I'm using Matlab to do this.

So far I have extracted the MFCC vectors from the speech files using this library. What I do not understand is how do I use these features for HMM.

Can you please explain how do I train the HMM. I'm using the hmm implementation found in matlab. Please do not refer me to other libraries as i am actually trying to understand how hmm's work.

The matlab implementation functions of the HMM are given here

Edit: it's been a long time, but I suppose the question is still relevant by the amount of views it hit, I did solve this the code can be found on my GitHub

You can not use this hmm to train speech HMM from MFCC vector. This framework supports number sequences only, it does not support feature vectors. It is a simple discrete HMM toolbox.

You have to use speech-oriented library like this one:
