How Native Speakers Say It: Pronounce as a full separate syllable ⁄ɪd⁄ (e.g. "start-id", "need-id").
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "well documented" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "well documented is" sounds like "well documented-iz").
